[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get people saying stuff like “I think she might have done it” - look at his injuries. They make zero sense. Those are obviously dog bites on his arm. His scalp is split open from falling on a ridged surface like a step. He has a laceration over the eye that the prosecution didn’t even try to explain because it’s obviously from a punch.

He would not have a scratched up arm, a laceration on the back of his head, a laceration above his eye, and no bruises or broken bones if he got hit by a car. It is not possible.[/quote]

I met someone who I think is fairly smart today, and she seemed certain karen ran him over (separate from the verdict). Said karen was black out drunk and it’s obvious she hit him. It surprised me. Are we just hoodwinked? [/quote]

I was actually interning with a prosecutor when the Casey Anthony case was going on and the consensus from the attorneys I talked to is that the case was shoddily handled and they didn't have sufficient evidence for their theory of the case.  There's a difference between being smart and understanding legal standards.

When we're looking at a conviction what you believe happened isn't relevant, it's what can be proved to the reasonable doubt standard. [/quote]

It amazes me what the people who think Karen Read is guilty think is evidence of guilt. Talk about mental gymnastics, twisting information around, and ignoring any facts that don’t fit in with their theory. They also regularly call anyone who doesn’t agree with them “dumb” or “stupid”- they appear to believe that only they are the “smart” and “sane” ones.

It’s clear that they can’t stand the Karen Read as a person. They’ve invested a lot of time in imagining how much they would like to see her go to prison and now that’s not panning out. Our justice system has prevailed.

Perhaps rather than brushing all 'Karen is guilty' people with broad strokes, take a look at your own mental gymnastics, twisting information, etc. [/quote]

Sorry, you’re right, I should have been more specific. I’m talking more narrowly about some of the people who think she’s not guilty who post here and on a particular site on Reddit. There are a lot of nasty posts describing Karen Read and those who think she is not guilty (including the jurors) with all kinds of derogatory terms- directed at them in a personal way, not in terms of mere disagreement with their ideas. As though the only reasons they might disagree are because they are stupid, insane, uneducated, or just generally bad people.

That’s just the internet. On every subject matter.  Some people are bored and angry. Others are bots and trolls. Try not to let online comments affect your real life perspective.[/quote]
